In a scaled drawing, 1/3 of an inch represents 6 feet. How many inches represent 54 feet?

We know that

1/3 inch = 1/36 ft

Using this proportion

x/54 = (1/36)/6

Here we have converted in same unit to proceed for calculation.

By further calculation

x = 9 × (1/36)

So we get

x = 1/4 ft

x = 3 inches

Therefore, 3 inches represent 54 feet.

In a scaled drawing, 1/3 of an inch represents 6 feet. How many inches represent 54 feet?

Summary:
